Jennine Krauchi: the Matriarch of Métis Beading and Culture
Moderated by Susan Freig

Internationally recognized Métis artist and designer Jeannine Krauchi learned Métis beading at the kitchen table surrounded by her father’s clothing and her mother’s beadwork. Her mediums include beadwork, quillwork and clothing design. While you are looking at Jennine’s art, you will learn about the richness, strength and beauty of Métis culture and history. Her work is included in many collections and Canadian museums. At the Art Talk, you will also get to see and touch a beaded item.
